After the recently flooding rains ceased, Rolling Hills Ministries was named state incident command center for the Louisiana Baptist Association, and with the help of volunteers from across the nation, the disaster relief teams have been able to aid residents of the state.

After an abuse complaint made by a Lincoln Parish resident, a man was arrested Monday afternoon.

Dwaun Jarelle Harris, 26, of 217 Gahagan Road No. 32, Simsboro, was arrested for domestic abuse battery, child endangerment and child desertion after allegedly beating the mother of his two young children, while she reportedly held their 9-month-old son.

The victim filed a complaint with Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office stating that Harris had beat her after she told him she was leaving.
